We have all the tools. It is just a matter of adding it. And since so
many people request it we will have to do it ;-)

The idea is to have a special FileLibrary that provides its resources
from a freely configurable file-system path, instead of using its
methods. It will be slow and inefficient (like the FileLibrary already
is), but it will make file serving easy. And, since it only builds on
top of Seaside, it will work with whatever Server you are using Kom,
Listener, Swazoo, FastCGI, ... on whatever Smalltalk platform you
want.

Yes, like the FileLibrary.

ESUG is usually a good time to announce things ... ;-)
